So, after a vicious kick in the teeth and penniless kiss-off by a certain imploding telecommunications giant once proudly known as Lucent Technologies, she decided she ought to have more fun than carrying a company laptop and wearing a stodgy suit and pinching shoes had provided so far and started writing.
Her first novel, The Infinite Instant, came out in September 2008 and won the 2009 EPPIE award for Best Science Fiction. She is now working on its sequel, The Nihilistic Mirror. Fans of Ms. Minuet James will be pleased to know our heroine gets into even worse difficulties in her subsequent adventure. And our heroine’s still got that weak spot for handsome, dangerous men.
Ms. Parker’s second work, an occasionally humorous anthology titled In a Pig’s Eye, featuring the tough adventurer Captain Blunt, will be published by Virtual Tales this summer. Fans of the golden age of pulp science fiction and classic horror should love these stories. What’s not to love about an anthology that includes stories which includes titles “The Curse of the Dog-Faced Mummy,” “The Embrace of the Four-Armed Houri,” and “The Tower of Sighs”?
She has also just completed her second novel, a dark science fiction titled Galen the Deathless, and is now in the painful, frustrating process of finding a publisher for the book. Galen the Deathless is a novel length expansion of a short story that first appeared in Bewildering Stories. She is also at work on its sequel, Galen the King.
In addition, she has on her plate a new “Elvidner” anthology featuring the mysterious wizard Elian Tellen. The first novella in this series, “Bats of Elvidner,” was selected in for the BWS Annual 2008 Retrospective.
Her reviews may be read regularly here at BwS. In spite of all that writing and a serious near-sighted problem, she still manages to read, read, read!
